Latuda - How long before the nausea side effect goes away?

Just for those who come here seeking answers here is my experience. The nausea can go away yes, but if you want to just skip it you can have your doctor prescribe zofran to alleviate it when you take it at night, which is when it's effects are often the worst. My nausea eventually came back once I was at 100mgs for a couple months and I now require zofran each night 30 minutes prior to taking latuda. It makes the nausea go away entirely leaving me comfortable and able to sleep with ease. Honestly Latuda works so well compared to other medications on the market and it is also very unique in its action, so much so that I consider the nausea to be unpleasant but controllable with ginger gum/tablets/soda or zofran. One thing to consider though for anyone with a mental illness is to have your doctor prescribe you zofran anyways just incase you get the flu, having some on hand for such eventualities is key to ensuring you still take your medicine everyday despite illness.

Also as far as inner sense of restlessness goes there are beta blockers such as propranolol or anti cholinergics such as cogentin among other medications which stop akathisia in its tracks. No need to suffer that feeling either, I swear doctors these days have no idea what they are doing. Just prescribe the latest and most expensive stuff without starting a prior authorization or giving samples for the interim. Then half the time they don't have the decency of prescribing the medications required to properly cope with the medications, especially when starting them. A small dose of Cogentin which is a very cheap and old med will alleviate akathisia. Some medications such as Latuda work so well at blocking dopamine that choline seeps through the synaptic gap(or so the theory goes) causing this chemical itchiness. Cogentin can immediately stop this side effect. I usually only get inner sense of restlessness at night when I take Latuda, so...
